Why not celebrate Schools’ Tree Day with Taronga Zoo? In 2014 we are planting trees for invertebrates. Invertebrates, or minibeasts, the animals with no backbone make up about 99% of all animal species on planet Earth!

Taronga Zoo has teamed up with popular children’s authors to bring books about animals to life. Book a video conference with Garry Fleming or Aleesah Darlison from Literature Live! Hear a reading from the author, meet live native animals and listen to fascinating stories behind the animals in the books. ‘How to draw’ workshops also available for some sessions.

This year, Taronga Zoo and the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust are combining to offer workshops that explore the incredible strategies plants and animals use to adapt to their surroundings. Choose your location - Zoo or Gardens, or book a video conference session with both Zoo and Gardens staff.
